Man, this has been a week. But to not start off sad or maybe I should be glad it got better, let's talk about next week first! *giggles*

For starters, my Christmas present is coming in soon next week, I'll just put it under my bed or something. *giggles* That's all you need to know. I will prepare something appropriate like a carol or something to celebrate its timely arrival LMAO but yeah, will update that on Bluesky too considering I have been doing an advent calendar for the month, and this will be good time to conclude on too if I can open that new set of DOAXVV acrylic stand set too. *dabs*

Meanwhile, my holiday plans for not work are still in place thank goodness, which means after I see Santa (lol) (which is myself btw) next week I will not see any colleagues until... well, more than next year since I gotta go to the Army too. *dabs* So yeah, this can't get any better considering I did iron out the issues with the new OS I just migrated to since last weekend.

Hey, ending this year on a good note, people, so might as well do that for Anime too! We will be sending 2 away and welcoming 2 for next week to end the year. And, uh... don't ask if I'm listening to new songs this month. *laughs*

I have to say? I'm already regretting giving Hina-chan the thumbnail last week. *laughs* This is because in the final episode of the first cour haha yes this will span will next season (#AoNoHako12), dude we got some action COMING!! *giggles* No really, not anything worth crying about (yet), but still, very important in determine and of course, setting up for the future ahead of us, so let's talk about those. For starters, it was a wholesome and cute summer festival. *laughs* I mean, if the lost kid and/or Chinatsu with the pin on her head given to by the kid isn't an indicator (or herself) (lol) then maybe Hina-chan dressed beautifully for the night and just watching fireworks with her should get you going. Well, at the least you gotta say that she's cute though. *giggles* Then of course, this is too perfect even with Haryu and his girl around lol, we have problems. *silence* Not exactly problems problems to be frank it is always a misunderstanding and not like everyone is keeping their mouths open to talk about things openly especially when you have the wireless earbuds on *dabs* haha, but they are of concern for an Anime who likes to talk about love. OBVIOUSLY Taiki is to chance upon Chinatsu and of course we made sure that Taiki will follow this till the end somehow holding on to his pee all this time lol I know right this is how you know he was a liar, and then they are just going to enjoy all of this without realizing that dude just came in with some other chick he was supposed to be all this time? Yeah, bruh indeed. I won't blame Taiki though, but I shall. *laughs* And also, Hina-chan got company. From the dude that likes her too. Like, how are you going to reject that dude, isn't it, Hina? "No because I want to be alone with Taiki"? That will just be straight off cruel tbh. So we will never know. *laughs* No really, we never will know, but she obviously can just lie and say she is with friends and they can buzz off just like me when talking so girls so what else is new. *giggles* What is new though, is how once again, they see all this. I like how the author ensured on the surface this looks like a date between Taiki and Hina since... as her friend just damn said, they are just pretending to be childhood friends at this point. *laughs* Which raises a lot of questions when Kyou decided to disappear and make this NOT a group event just like what Taiki said earlier in front of Chinatsu. OOF indeed, fellas. But he didn't lie, Taiki never lies so far into the story to be real though, so I like how Chinatsu has to doubt him at this stage of the story. With all the uncertainty and the second half of the school year creeping up, this pot is stirring up real good to what will happen up next, I'll assure you that. *giggles* All in all, the story is great, we have a cast I have already loved from the start hehe thanks Ueshama and Akarin, the opening theme still sucks imo maybe I've listened too many of Anime theme songs to think this is more weird than with impact and personally f**k you Hige Dandism lmao, and hell yeah you bet shit's only going to happen at around Episode 20- Was that where "Toradora!" got its break? I don't remember it has been 15 years. *cringe* I don't think this will be the former case where we are choosing who to give themselves to the damn guy lol, but this will involve some fighting, I am sure. Or heartbreak, whichever comes first. Either way, sign me up. *giggles* But I have a harsh feeling, Hina-chan is going to be the one getting hurt in the end. And I'm already sad. *laughs* You see, the problem without secondary couple plot here is that- FORESHADOWING IS A LITERARY DEVICE THAT *laughs*

[TL:DR; "I think Chii is overthinking things." SHE KNOWS haha]

P.S. "I thought (the hairdo) looks cute, I wanted to compliment you." I know right why are being a-holes here "Say that again!" Yes Akarin you are the cutest and I love you- Oh, not her. *laughs*

P.P.S. "I didn't know just calling her cute would make her so happy." I'm pretty sure that works for all women. Just uh, depends on your tastes. *giggles* "Girls..." LOL did Taiki went for the Leon Kennedy "Women." quote? *laughs*

[I just watched the trailer for 2nd cour which starts in the new year and I know the theme songs are actually good now but goddamn, it looks so sad I don't want to watch now. *laughs* Why did I do this to myself I can't even]

To be real with you guys? I don't give a f**k about this episode (#BLEACHTYBW38) but sadly I have to, let's get this over and done with, the final episodes next week will be better to conclude the season anyways. *laughs* Anyways, Buzz B and Haschwalth. This... must be the most uninterested in a lore of an episode I have watched ever. *laughs* On the other hand, and I will tell you why, that this is also the most... nonchalant? Is that the words to use? To talk about these guys. Let's talk about why first. Because if you haven't noticed the colour change in the episode title and I forgive you my dear colourblind viewers lol sorry for the blog theme switcher too also (lol), this honestly was already headed to an end before it started. Because I mean... why did Bazz even choose Jugo (I'm using shorthand because these are going to be used often) here anyways? I meant as in, back then. Like, Bazz has nothing else to do? I mean, hearing the other by-passers he was also like the son to a castle lord. Surely he has some power- Oh, all killed by Yhwach. *laughs* Okay that aside though, why back then? As he said, Jugo is weak af, can't even create a Quincy bow, can't even hunt for his dinner in the face of his... likely abusive uncle lol OOF, so yeah, why? I guess we will never know. But we do end up knowing why Jugo was literally without power even as a sacred race: He only has the power to share power between others, so think of The Almighty which is basically that but it's for every single Quincy around. Well, almost all, Ishida's grandfather did escape all this a couple of centuries ago with respect to today. Still, maybe that's just easy excuse to explain things here I would argue, but what felt to Jugo like a perfect chance to join in the ranks and take down Yhwach from within ended up somehow becoming a betrayal with respect to Bazz? Yeah, and that is in spite of Jugo thinking uh oh this is going nowhere then maybe I just call Yhwach my new dad instead, and all else is history? *laugh* Quite a convenient story to tell, I would argue, but as we have seen so far even on the fight in present day, there is reason to do so. Apart from this being like such a small side story so unimportant it's basically Jugo's relationship with Bazz which is also nothing lol GOTTEM, this also had like, how to say, a spike of hatred amongst what could have just been... well, nothing. Remember Jugo had like, no life goals? Yeah, especially now without family? Bazz just didn't give that feel of homecoming, and not like I'm going to talk about family here haha the Stenritter family is more cringe than my boss calling us family tbh (lol), and it's also because Bazz did teach him the ways of being alive, and unfortunately, he just became that boar which was their last night's dinner. *shrugs* I don't think we have to tell Bazz that, but not like he's smart enough to get it lol GOTTEM AGAIN haha, but yeah, if that is also what you felt? Then yeah, feel what Jugo felt, but on Bazz too, in reflection. All in all, I didn't expect them to make this episode good but they did I would have been bored out of my butt if I was the scriptwriter lmao, but hey, guess this isn't my job so I don't have to be a smart aleck about it, yeah? *dabs* Moving ahead haha we will just let Bazz die there it's fine no one cares, if I'm not wrong then this should be the Ishida right right ahead of us? I don't remember if it's with Ichigo or with Haschwalth, but I guess we will find out next week likely ending in a double-episode special! Hell yeah, we have come so far I can't even. *giggles* No, not talking about these two losers we CLEARLY should've rid of Haschwalth long time ago haha yeah let him lose to the elements of nature

P.S. "I'm going to kill His Majesty's power..." Okay Bazz-B I will stop you right there and now *laughs*

P.P.S. "I haven't seen that many, so I wouldn't know." What Jugo, is it because you don't have friends, DUDE?? Haha because same. *laughs*

Where were we last week? Oh, the dad's back. Uh oh. *laughs* In this final episode of what was meant to be the grown up version of "HigeHiro" but this is entirely legal so we should be fine lol (#MeidoSama12), we might not be fine just because did you see Yuki-san just burn all the money on f**king gachapon for her boi? *giggles* I would've just bought him an actual figurine which will cost more than her losses. *dabs* Okay, conclusion though, not the same as the former, we can talk about this at length, though briefly because not like Hitoyoshi is going to sit down with his dad and talk about it, which is already an irony for this series, not gonna lie here. Ignoring the gachapon stuff earlier where Yuki-san met his dad by coincidence I don't think this will change much, but yeah, they are essentially just showing a lot about what has happened to Yuki-san coming here as a house maid and how much the son has grown over time, just so the dad can be more than relieved to just let him be. I think that's more than important even if his dad is just a blatant liar. *laughs* Also, so is the son by the way, without telling the dad's arrival to Yuki-san too. I mean, bro, what do you think you are doing anyways? *laughs* Yeah, he almost wanted to play this off to the dad instead of, what? Just treating her as a house maid? BRUH. *giggles* I know, which one is worse for her? You decide. I am actually genuinely disappointed until quite literally till the end where thank goodness, Hitoyoshi did not leave Yuki-san's status in the family hanging lest we need to so a sequel so we can sort this all out. *laughs* Also, this should not be too surprising to anyone, but uh, you should've figured ever since the first episode why Xue was sent to the Yokoya residence to be a maid. *taps brain* Speaking of the dad, it's probably no surprise the dad knows all about the former assassin, but then again I don't want to poke into it too much considering they just said the mom was a vampire lmao wtf is this, "Demi-chan"?? *laughs* Yeah, not touching that I am already more pissed than when "Majou to Yajuu" talked about alternate worlds lol don't test me (but the dad's voice is DEFINITELY familiar so hey Ashaf long time no see) and of course assuming that the dad is some normal human... I sure hope whatever Yuki-san is and/or whatever the mom is even causing her to leave home? Yeah, whatever that all was in the past? I sure hope they won't come back to bite us (get it, because vampire) once the mom realized what on Earth is happening to this bliss the son just attained so far. *giggles* That aside though, and I think this is much the focus of the episode even the season after fooling around so far, is that I'm pretty sure the dad knows that *sob* his son has changed. Yeah, maybe even into a former assassin, kind of changed. Most likely, speaking out for himself, kind of changed, see everything above. But hey, for all our sakes, I hope so too? And that's why this is still quite an emotional episode, if I would say so myself. *sob* All in all... I will say, the family drama bait here at the end of the series DOES INDEED help in the conclusion of this adaptation. For this, yes, this is adequate. *thumbs up* But for what is not foreshadowing and what is dragged on so far just to get to this, it's as bad as Xue as she had to deal with all her years in assassination. That part, no good. BUT if you are okay with the dynamic cast there is over here, the subpar animation which till this day I can't really approve of and I have watched the types of animation from a decade ago lol, and if you like dogs LMAO, then yeah, give this a watch, don't just take my word for it. But between its bittersweet (family) (oof haha) romance and whatever jokes they want to put for Yuki-san to familiarise herself in this brand new world... I would say this is good enough. For their little world in bliss? This is quite the stuff you would expect out of this series, though I would believe that this series might be darker as it goes on, but I think the adaptation is leaning towards a happy ending, so I'll take this. Seriously though dad, HOW MUCH MORE are you lying, dude? *laughs* We will never know.

[TL:DR; I think I found the right phrase to describe this series: Terribly cringe. I'm just glad this final episode picked the series right backup ngl]

P.S. "Firstly, banish those tears! These (gachapon) machines are embodiments of evil that prey on the weak! You can't just rely on the gods to save you!" Alright dad what's the next advice? "Steel your heart, and pull the handle with killing intent!" Yeah then what? *laughs* 

P.P.S. "Well, just because someone is close by doesn't mean you can talk to them about anything." That's true.

[I feel like we should give more credit to the dog and Riko-chan for carrying this series (not as in Yuki-san to Hitoyoshi) so here's a montage hehe]

Yeah, I know right, this is all Kiriyama's fault. *laughs* I mean, we can't put it this easily, can we? I mean, we can if we are the Chairman. *dabs* In this new episode where oh boy oh boy scoops are never as tasty as if they weren't coming from a box of ice cream lol (#MuraiNoKoi11), we go on a journey, to apology. *laughs* Okay, the journey will come later and we will see why in a moment, but let's at least talk about the conclusion so the spicy news we saw that even appeared on the news column which yeah, got the school's vice principal worried (aka the narrator lol it's the same voice I think) so much so his generous donor his schools' reputation may disappear just because some teacher was smooching a student. FROM THE SAME DAMN SCHOOL?? Guys, prepare the interrogation. *laughs* To be frank? Kiriyama would have done it if not for that photographer. But also, this means this can never become public. Which is already worsened by the fact that... Murai's dad has reputation and is *ahem* heavily involved with this school, could not afford (emphasis) to be embarrassed by such news, which is why Yamakado came into play. Because not only did Kiriyama had to bluff this as a bet Murai lost so no one can suspect this really turning into a student-teacher relationship which *OOF* we talked about the reality check on that so let's move on, Kiriyama also just led Yamakado into this play so that all of them can go unscathed by essentially letting him win this love and war altogether, killing Hitotose in the process. RIP everyone, honestly. *salutes* Which all in all is making Murai unable to do anything besides (not even) watch his beloved childhood sweetheart fall in love with his only love rival in real life and possibly, choosing the more realistic option just because. Well, can't blame Murai, if I loved some woman that much I would not wait 3 years. *giggles* But yeah, it's good time we talked about the actual lore behind this too, ie FLASHBACK TIME! Why don't I get the onigiri to guide me to watch a video about how pathetic Murai was in the past but someone saved him from ridicule? BRUH. I don't have this by the way I mentioned this before I was only bullied. By women too. Who's the loser now, me? *silence* I'm already sad let me go unconscious for a year, thanks. *laughs* But yeah, Murai got real lucky learning so much of Tetsuko I would argue, and it's no surprise that this might also just be his first crush, afterwards trying to look like TenTen and now Hitotose which if this had to go on then he would have to dress up as the head teacher of a school? Now THAT sounds like an interesting plot- Oh, we aren't? What a pity, we could've had rock bands AND ponytail girls all in one series. *laughs* Goddammit, this Anime. *laughs* Well, this was what I blurted out once this episode ended, so this should give you a good idea. *laughs* Yeah, we are at the final stretch, and if this was "RomaKila" in which I watched all in one go on a certain New Year's Day (hehe this should make it easy to find here FYI), I guess we will have to wait for next week for the final conclusion! *sigh* I wished I took leave tomorrow so I can just watch this tomorrow, I can't wait a week considering what I just saw. I can't just be unconscious like Murai for so many days, dude. *giggles* Maybe I won't wait. *dabs* See you then I guess, and oh boy Yamakado is already disappointed at where this is going haha I'm just disappointed that no one thinks that of me tbh BUT WHO CARES I AM HAPPIER THAN I COULD EVER HAVE BEEN *sob* (haha ugh)

[TL:DR "And why Tanaka? What kind of world do we live in?" Haha I know right- I KNOW RIGHT (Haha but in contrary now I know why after this episode)]

P.S. "You're being shy? I can't stand how adorable you are." What a chad, dude, this Hirai. I can't even say this lol  "Are you just a genius-level idiot?" But yeah also this haha yeah they also be talking about me *dabs*

P.P.S. "Are you guys in a relationship?" I mean, for our own sakes they better not be together tbh but "We will be in the near future" HOLY SHIT MURAI JUST STFU RIGHT NOW (haha)

[Since Tetsuko was so cool this episode why not more of her? Haha I can't believe I just said that lol]

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable)

It's not great, as expected. *laughs*

So yeah, listening to ClariS again this year even though they are pretty much done. *giggles* Unpopular option now that they are back? Aqua Timez also sang a Christmas-like song... 8 years ago in their album. *laughs* That is by far still my favourite Christmas original so go listen to that instead. You're welcome. *dabs*

(*From Twitter/X; Information accurate as of writing)

I gotta say though? eill-san's live singing isn't great. *laughs*

Also I gotta say? Polkadot Stingray's new song is not bad at all. *giggles* Well, at least it's a familiar style in which I liked and I promise you I will talk more about why one should be only into them if they like a majority of their styles or expression of music, and yeah, they still got me from time to time.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THEIR ALBUM NEXT YEAR lol please though? Yeah I know right all we got is from FINLANDS- Please, major label single member band FINLANDS. *cringe*

This world is getting weird. *laughs*

How does the 12 days of Christmas carol go? *laughs* Please, I'm not Christian I barely gave a damn just because. *cringe* Anyways, I only have enough for 3 and not like this lasts 50 days or else I will bring out Ibuki-chan (or not) (lol) haha, but otherwise yeah, we have things lined up, not gonna say too much. *giggles* See you guys next week then, I still have a lot to figure out considering I am on Linux now haha, and until then... we are on the final stretch for 2024, at least. I know right, why am I being optimistic about next year anyways? *shrugs* Oh also I DID JUST FORGET ABOUT ANZAI CHIKA TODAY lol my phone wallpapers are just Sumipe this whole week so I don't have to worry about it while still setting this up. *giggles* Remind me to celebrate Monica-chan's birthday when the new year starts though, gotta give DOAXVV money it has been a while. *laughs* See you guys next time while I prepare my script for how I explain my f**ked up life when people ask me again just as my bro's gf did yesterday when we met.

I'm not sad, I'm not sad, I'm not sad...

P.S. I feel like there's a lot to talk about Jump Festa happening this weekend so let's see how much I need to talk about that isn't the above: They did reveal a new trailer for the upcoming "BLEACH" console game starring Shinji of all people but it really looks like we are only getting the Arrancar Arc for now so not including this final arc which is likely DLC which won't be too surprising, looks like the new season of "Aharen-san" will happen in April next year starring new character also gyaru Touyama Nao of all people haha but this will be interesting you better be as weird as the rest or else you will rank lower than that gyaru in "RikeKoi" lol, "Skip to Loafer" is getting a second season so I'll be able to love Higashira once again hehe someone please love her for the love of god, why is the poster of the new cour of "Ao no Hako" look like some action movie that has a romance subplot lmao... Did I miss anything? Okay I think we are good. 

P.P.S. And then next week maybe I'll talk about C105 and what I saw... that I won't buy. *dabs* We shall see at this rate I might just do this every Comiket ngl

SEE YOU ON THE NEXT POST THAT ISN'T THIS AND YOU KNOW WHY haha bye
